Hi Sovereign108,

That is quite an observant comment - originally (in the very first release)  it WAS the gold Bitcoin icon. But then I could not tell the difference between the MultiBit I had running and the Satoshi client. Both looked the same in my dock on my Mac.

So I opened it up with Seashore (graphics app). Made it monochrome and fiddled around with the contrast and thought - yeah that will do.

Now of course it is in every installed MultiBit, on the website, twitter account, in the send confirmation dialog etc. Apparently with anything 'iconic' or brand related it is better just to leave well alone and not change things (unless absolutely necessary).

:-)
